Marquette Career
Played for Marquette from 1966-1969.
Is best known for fighting with DePaul Blue Demons' second leading scorer and rebounder, Bob Zoretich, in a 1968 away game at DePaul's Alumni Hall. Both were ejected. This prompted DePaul coach Ray Meyer to state that MU lost a player “who couldn't throw a ball in the ocean if he were standing on the beach.” Marquette coach Al McGuire then proceeded to set up a photo session with Pat Smith standing on the shore of Lake Michigan, trying to throw the ball into the lake (see above picture).
